The hydraulic drum brake assembly we offer that measures 8-1/2 inches and is 2-1/4 inches thick is for 12 or 13 inch wheels. These brake assemblies are designed to work with up to 3,000 lb rating axle rating. for the right side of the trailer you would order part # T4442000, and for the left side part # T4442100.

For a hub and drum assembly with a 5 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern I recommend the Titan complete Hub And Drum Assembly, part # T1662200042. This assembly comes with the races, bearings, seal, grease cap, bolts and lug nuts. I have attached a product review video you can check out.

If this is for a boat trailer, I recommend using Marine Trailer Wheel Bearing Grease, like part # L54FR. This is water insoluble, and corrosion resistant.
